Is anybody else sick of all the attention that ESPN gives to women golfers attempting to 'invade' the men's tournaments?
Please do not attack me as sexist or whatever... the question pertains to the fact that there IS a seperation from the men's and women's tournaments... and whether or not you think the women can compete and whether or not ESPN overdoes their coverage of any woman trying to compete.
Also does anyone honestly believe a woman could earn a living if they played with the men full time? Or what women think if men invaded their tournaments probably making it impossible for them to ever win again?
But specifically I'm sickened by the coverage that ESPN gives to any female that is trying to compete like they just did with Wie. It's like they are overcompensating to try and prove they honestly think it's a good thing... when I doubt that anyone there really does.
Your thoughts? Especially any women out there.

Ummm... the question wasn't are women's sports as GOOD as men's... it was whether or not ESPN overdoes coverage of a female golfer trying to invade a man's tournament... and whether or not a female golfer should even be trying to compete with men in general?
That's why there is a seperation in sports.
I never said I didn't enjoy watching women's golf.. or softball... or soccer.
But that doesn't mean I think the 2 'leagues' should be intertwined.

I think everyone always over do it - this could be an example

I believe that the ONLY moron here would be knowitall. If you are going to disrespect someone, at least get your reasoning straight.
I'm with you man! If I see it on the tube anymore I just turn it off. If that makes me a sexist then I would have to say that I am a proud one. I am totally behind Michelle Wie in doing what ever she wants to do with her sponsorships but I think that she has out done the expectations of NIKE. Sure they are loving all the attention and promotion but they already have the biggest NIKE sponser in the PGA. Does anyone remember a guy by the name of TIGER WOODS??? Nike should never be in any hurt as long as he is a part of them. I truthfully believe that this has a lot to do with the whole shenanigan. That and her daddy is pushing for more t.v. time.
This is what she needs to do. She needs to go to the LPGA and do her duty there as a promoter for her sponsors. If she does what is intended for her there then she should think of doing the skins matches in the fall or maybe her and Annika doing a match play. There are so many more ways to get her name out that its pathetic and she insists on trying to put just one more Male golfer out of a job for a week. Pretty selfish if you ask me.
p.s. I like it when you prove to be the one who runs the mouthy ones away like knowitall.

i havent seen a lot of the coverage on ESPN, but i will say the by the time Michelle Wie is 26 she will be competing on the PGA tour consistantly, and may have won on the PGA by then.

That long of a dialogue, sexist...
But yes they over emphasis. And of course they could earn a living, with the media attention, they could get tee selling offers :P.
